​Our Moments to Remember program focuses on enhancing the quality of life for hospice patients by giving them the opportunity to see a special request or wish come true. It could be as simple as a providing cookies from a favorite childhood bakery or as intimate as hosting a great-granddaughter’s baby shower at one of our
inpatient care units.

As one of the nation’s largest and most experienced nonprofit hospice agencies we offer an unparalleled number of life enrichment events in the Northeast Ohio. Our paid and volunteer staff work on fulfilling over 750 requests each year as diverse as our patients and their interests.

A mother-daughter trip to the casino. A visit to Cleveland Browns Training Camp and a chance to meet and shake hands with the players and coach. A personal “Cruise In” in the hospice house parking lot complete with ‘50s music provided by a live deejay, a popcorn machine and rows of gleaming classic cars on display.
Even a ride in the Batmobile.

As part of the program, we also host a
Meal to Remember on a monthly basis, partnering with local chefs to create a fine dining experience at our
inpatient care centers. Patients are also able to visit a place that is meaningful to them through our
Flight to Remember program, the first of its kind in the United States.

Patients and families who would like help that is not expressly medical but would make their life more fulfilling should discuss their wishes with their care team or contact Lori Scotese at
lscotese@hospicewr.org or at 216.287.8193.

Generous support from individual donors, foundations and the community allow us to provide these invaluable memories at no cost to the patient. To donate to our program,
